Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Spit~~~~~~

A screeching sound of brakes.

Chen Xi was drifting when Yang Wei said those words.

One slip of the hand caused the mistake.

Fortunately, the road was relatively wide, so even though there was a mistake, nothing serious happened.

After a slight bump and sway, the vehicle continued to move.

"Has the group been disbanded?"

"Has something happened to the Emperor?"

After the car was on a relatively smooth road, Chen Xi glanced at the dark rearview mirror and asked a question.

"Has something happened to the Emperor?"

"But boss, the group owner is that Phase III Watcher."

Yang Wei had not experienced the "coming over via the internet" incident, so he was unfamiliar with the emperor.

This is no ordinary group; it has the power of the emperor within it, and it cannot be disbanded so easily.

What should I do?

Chen Xi had the emperor's WeChat account, and he was considering whether to ask him about it.

As for what to ask?

Are you dead?

Would that be impolite?

But what to ask isn't the key point; the key point is whether to ask at all.

Chen Xi's current "identity" is too complicated; he himself doesn't even understand what he really is.

What if I'm not actually a superhuman?

Simply stating that my thoughts are extraordinary is probably not very useful.

When I first awakened, the emperor arrived that very night. Perhaps because it was so short, the emperor couldn't discern anything at the time.

But Chen Xi is now at stage II.

To be honest, he didn't want to appear before the emperor rashly before he understood what he was.

That's dangerous!

The world today can be described as fraught with danger, and there is really no need to take risks under such circumstances, even if the probability of death is very low.

Even with a low probability, there is still a possibility of it happening!

"It's nothing, let's just go about our business."

Chen Xi gave a simple answer, then slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop.

"You drive; you know the direction."

"I need to confirm some things."

Yang Wei didn't say anything, just nodded, and the two switched places.

Chen Xi picked up her phone.

Just as Yang Wei said, the group has indeed disbanded.

Immediately, Chen Xi sent a message to a name:

[Chen Xi: The large group has been disbanded, do you know why?]

After sending the message, Chen Xi rested his elbow on the car door frame and looked out the window in a pretentious pose, resting his chin on his hand.

Although it wasn't very obvious, the endless darkness that enveloped the area gradually faded as the vehicles drove away.

This means the two are heading out of the black fog.

Just when Chen Xi thought it would be a long time before she got a reply, her phone screen suddenly lit up.

A message popped up.

[Zhang Wanyi: I'm sorry, I knew nothing about this either. I only noticed the group was gone after I saw your message.]

[Chen Xi: Does this have nothing to do with the emperor?]

For example... the emperor was killed?

After the message was sent, Zhang Wanyi's name was displayed as "typing" almost immediately.

[Zhang Wanyi: The Impossible Chen Xi]

I don't know the specific reason, but I once heard a superhuman say that the emperor cannot be killed.

[It is precisely for this reason that the first-ranked personnel have never changed.]

Unkillable? The person has never changed...

Chen Xi was hearing about the former for the first time, but he had heard about the latter a long time ago.

However, based on the information he currently possesses...

The history of the Black Tower is far more than 50 years. With such a long time span, did the emperor really never change?

It's important to understand that the lifespan of superhumans is comparable to that of ordinary people. Even if they reach a higher level, it simply means they have better physical fitness and live longer.

But their lifespan is still just over a hundred years.

This is a foregone conclusion.

Although Chen Xi had met the emperor, he couldn't remember his face or even his physique; some things were blurred in his memory. However, two pieces of information were certain.

A young woman.

These two factors determined that the emperor could not exist for a very long time.

Logically, this would only make sense if no one had ever been aware of their identity as the Son of Heaven before.

As for the emperor being unable to be killed...

Chen Xi could only say that this condition was a perfect match for the fact that the emperor's identity had never changed.

[Chen Xi: Did you know that the Black Tower's history actually exceeds 50 years?]

And it's very likely to be far more than that.

[Zhang Wanyi: I know, and I understand what you're trying to say, but as far as I know, the Emperor is indeed an unkillable being.]

As a member of the first tier, she is special, far surpassing ordinary individuals.

[Chen Xi: Okay, so you got this information from that superhuman?]

As a top student, Chen Xi is determined to get to the bottom of things.

His intuition told him that the identity of the emperor seemed different from all other identities.

It's not just about being powerful.

[Zhang Wanyi: He's like you, also in the Overlord Sequence, the Eighth Sequence - Actor!]

Although I have seen him, that was not his true face.

[Also, when I say "he" here, I don't mean the actor's gender. I just typed it randomly because I don't know whether the actor is male or female.]

Chen Xi: Okay.

[So, where are you right now?]

I'm currently in Stage II. If you need any help, feel free to let me know, but please make sure you specify what kind of help you need beforehand!

Zhang Wanyi was someone who risked her life to save Chen Xi, so if possible, Chen Xi would naturally want to help her as well.

[Zhang Wanyi: You're way too fast!]

[How many acres of land were cultivated!]

You've probably worn out the hoe by now. Oh well, congratulations!

Even if you don't message me today, I will still message you.

[Chen Xi: Is something important?]

[Zhang Wanyi: I guess so, it just so happens that I can answer your question at the same time]

I'm currently inside the black mist, planning to enter the Black Tower!

This is the witch's mission; I must be inside the Black Tower to advance to Stage III.

The Black Tower is completely isolated from the outside world. Unless I come out, you won't hear from me again.

[Chen Xi: I'm also in the black fog, do you need help?]

[Zhang Wanyi: Thank you, Chen Xi, but unfortunately, a witch is lonely, and I must complete this task alone.]

I've said what I wanted to say. The distance between me and the Black Tower is no longer constant; it's constantly growing in front of me, which means I'm getting closer to the door that leads inside.

That's all for now, see you at the Black Tower!

A few seconds of silence.

[Chen Xi: See you at the Black Tower!]

The conversation between the two ended there.

Zhang Wanyi's answer not only failed to resolve Chen Xi's doubts, but also deepened the mystery surrounding the emperor's identity.

Overall, it's good news.

Because the emperor is not dead.

If he dies, wouldn't Chen Xi, the farmer, be the one to lead the charge?

On the one hand, my current strength is not enough; on the other hand, I might be a fake!

He might as well just turn evil and defect to the enemy someday!

If we can meet the actors later, things might become clearer.

With this in mind, the vehicle drove for another 15 hours.

Whether the two were lucky or simply daydreamers who included the car in their calculations, they happened to pass by a service area along the way.

The two refueled at the Tianshui service area.

Although the road wasn't going straight, it was still heading out of the black fog. The surrounding brightness was much higher than when the long-haired fake man and Tanu were fighting.

But it's still considered dark.

Spit~~~~~~

There was another screech of brakes, this time from Chen Xi as well.

After ending his conversation with Zhang Wanyi, he became the driver again.

But this time it wasn't a mistake; it was the end.

There was a cliff ahead with no road at all.

The two got off the bus together without any hesitation.

"It seems we've arrived at what the world is originally like."

Chen Xi squinted and glanced around.
